Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is prepared to wait to sign Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez.

The Spaniard has been linked with Atletico defender Hernandez – but will wait until the summer to move for the £20million centre-back.

The Independent says Guardiola is willing to wait for the 20-year-old Frenchman.

Atletico president Miguel Angel Gil Marin has claimed that City already made a bid for Hernandez – and younger brother Theo, a left-back.
